JOHN HICKS, OF CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA..

GAS-BURNER.

T 0 all Lo/Lomvlt may concern.'

De it known that l, JOHN Hicks, a subject of the King of Crreat Britain, and a resident of the city of Calgary, in the Province of Alberta, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners, of which the following is the specii'ication.

My invention relates to improvements in gas burners and the object of the invention is to devise a burner particularly adaptable to gas furnaces and which will produce a greater and cheaper' heat than that which has heretofore been obtained by other fuels and by which the gas and air are thoroughly mixed to form a combustible mixture and it consists essentially of a tapered tube open at the ends, a valve casing secured to the lower end of the tube and having an open bottom, a controlling valve for such open bottom, a gas supply pipe entering the ing and having an up-turned portion located in the center of the tube, a controllizig val vc for such inlet pipe and a perforated covering cap detachably secured over the open end of the up-turned portion. as hereinafter more particularly explained by the following specification.

Figure l, is a sectional view of my device. Fig. 2, is a sectional plan.

ln the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

A is the bottom of the furnace lire pot provided with an internally threaded opening A. i

B is a tapered tube provided with an externally threaded upper end designed to be threaded into the opening A. he lower end of the tube B is preferably enlarged at B as shown, such enlarged portion terminating in an externally threaded portion B2.

C is the valve casing provided with an in ternally threaded orifice C into which the externally threaded end of the tube B2 is screwed.

C2 is an opening formed in the valve casing directly opposite the open upper end of the tube B.

`C3 is an internally threaded opening formed in the side of the valve casing.

D is the gas supply tube.

D is a controlling valve designed to control the supply of gas passing through the tube.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application ined March 21, 19,14.. serial No. 826,188.

The pipe D is connected by a suitable union D2 which is threaded into the internally threaded opening 'C3 of the valve casing thereby connecting the pipe D to the valve casing.

Dt is an upwardly extending elbow into which the pipe D leads through the union piece D2. The elbow ll)4 extends upwardly and centrally into the lower end of the tube B.

D5 is a perforated cap which is threaded on to the upper end of the elbow D4.

Er is a swinging valve disk extending over the open lower end of the valve casing C2 to which it is pivotally connected by a set screw E.

lt will thus be seen that when it is desired to use my burner the valve D is opened, the gas passing through such valve into the elbow D4 up through the perforated cap and into the tube B. rlhe disk valve E is swung laterally so as to admit air through the open end C2 of the valve casing. 'lhe upward rush of gas through the tube B draws the air through the opening C2 so as to mix with the upgoing stream of gas and thereby form a perfect combustible mixture.

`When desired the cap D5 may be changed for another cap having different sized perforations, so as to make the burner adaptable to the gas pressure existing in the gas supply pipe. The valve E may also be adjusted for the same purpose.

From this description it will be seen that l have devised a very simple device for burning gas in heating furnaces which will be cheap, economical and provide a thorough combustible mixture.

What I claim as my invention is:

l. A gas burner comprising a vertical tube, a valve casing secured to the lower end ofthe tube and having an opening opposite the open lower end of the tube, a disk valve extending normally over such opening, a set screw pivotally securing such disk at one side of the opening, and a gas supply pipe entering through the sid@ of the valve casing and terminating in an up-turned portion extending into the center of the aforesaid tube, as and for the purpose specified.

l 2. A gas burner comprising a vertical tube, a valve casing secured to the lower end of the tube and having an opening opposite the open lower end of the tube, a disk valve gg t t 1,102,751

' extending normally over such opening, a set open end of such 11p-turned portion, as `and s orew plvotally. securing such disk at one for the purpose specified. sideojf the opening, a gas supply pipe entering through the side of the Yvalve easing and n u o JOHN HIC-KS' terminating in an 11p-turned portion eXtend- Witnesses ing into the centerY of the aforesaid tube, w OLIVE DILLY,

and a perforated cap extending` over the GLADYS GoULD.
